How You Can Help

The One Boy One Van Foundation is committed to improving the quality of life for special-needs children and their families in the Eastern Ontario region. Our organization acknowledges the tremendous financial burden families take on when buying a van to accommodate a child's special needs becomes a priority. The financial aid we provide is unique in Ontario as our funds are used solely for the vehicle purchase. With our assistance, families have bought modified vans that not only ensured their child's safety and comfort, but also provided that child with a means to fully participate in family life and community activities.

Thank you for your interest in supporting our efforts. Your commitment to helping enhance the quality of life for physically challenged children in our community is sincerely appreciated.
